Btrfs: introduce GET_READ_MIRRORS functionality for btrfs_map_block()
Before this commit, btrfs_map_block() was called with REQ_WRITE in order to retrieve the list of mirrors for a disk block. This needs to be changed for the device replace procedure since it makes a difference whether you are asking for read mirrors or for locations to write to. GET_READ_MIRRORS is introduced as a new interface to call btrfs_map_block(). In the current commit, the functionality is not yet changed, only the interface for GET_READ_MIRRORS is introduced and all the places that should use this new interface are adapted. The reason that REQ_WRITE cannot be abused anymore to retrieve a list of read mirrors is that during a running dev replace operation all write requests to the live filesystem are duplicated to also write to the target drive. Keep in mind that the target disk is only partially a valid copy of the source disk while the operation is ongoing. All writes go to the target disk, but not all reads would return valid data on the target disk. Therefore it is not possible anymore to abuse a REQ_WRITE interface to find valid mirrors for a REQ_READ.
